This excellent Union County ranch consists of 4,270.39 +/- deeded acres and 3,357 State Lease acres on which the owners have spent considerable time, money and effort in improving the property. It is a prime ranch located in reputation ranching country.
The ranch consists of 7,627.39 +/- contiguous acres of which most is open, gently rolling country with an excellent combination of grasses. The balance of the ranch provides enough breaks and creek bottoms to give the ranch aesthetic value, character and winter protection for a year round cow/calf operation or a seasonal yearling operation.
The confluence of the Pinabetes and Tramperos Creeks lies less than a half-mile south of the headquarters. Several springs feed these two live, running creeks as they traverse through the ranch. A total of almost 6 miles of the Tramperos Creek runs through the ranch from west to east with 4 miles of the Pinabetes entering the ranch along the north boundary and joining the Tramperos near the center of the ranch.
The headquarters has a beautiful, recently remodeled Southwestern style modular home with 2,800 square feet +/- of living area. It has three bedrooms, two baths, two living areas, a kiva fireplace and a two-car attached garage. Also at the headquarters is a nice foreman’s home/bunk house/guest home with three bedrooms and one bath which was remolded throughout at the same time as the main house, a 30 X 40 metal shop (concrete floor, electricity and an electric powered over-head door) and a combination wood frame barn with sheet metal roof approximately 100 ft. by 100 ft. for hay storage with an open-front on part of the barn for livestock.
The shipping/working pens are “STATE OF THE ART” with a new hydraulic working chute and a certified livestock scale.
Excellent access to the headquarters is by 2.2 miles +/- of all-weather county road from paved New Mexico Hwy. 402.
Water for the ranch is provided by 1 (one) stock well powered by a windmill and 3 (three) stock wells equipped with submersible electric motors and pumps powered by single phase utility lines. The two north wells (HQ well and Stead well) equipped with “SUBS” are both connected to several miles of pipeline and multiple drinkers. A third well equipped with a “SUB” provides water to the south end of the ranch. The area north of the Tramperos Creek and on the west side of the ranch is watered by a well equipped with a windmill. The two creeks with springs, seven dirt tanks, one storage tank, wells and pipelines give the ranch easily accessible water across the entire ranch.
